I have a G4 with a 40GH Hard Drive. I am running 9.2.2 and want to upgrade to Panther 10.3. Can someone run me through the steps of partitioning my HD...and how much should I allocate to 9.2.2 vs. 10.3? Do I just make two partitions? Do I do this before installing OS X, or while I'm doing it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Are there any disadvantes to having a partitioned drive?

Partitioning a HD for OSX

Partitioning your drive means you need to back up your files first.
OSX and OS9 can exist on the same partition. They are two totally separate operating systems. In the past, Apple recommended against mixing operating systems on the same drive (such as OS8.6 and OS9) but OSX lives happily with OS9.
